Jennifer,
You didn’t say which model BlackBerry you have, so I’ll have to be a little vague in my directions. When you have the list of tones you can select for a ringtone, scroll to the top of the list (at least for some models) till you see “Browse…”. Select that and select the place where you have downloaded songs stored. It may be on your Media Card or it may be in Device Memory. You’ll have to search and find the songs. Hope that helps.

Laura,
I may be the bomb, but I don’t really understand why that worked. Makes me look smarter than I really am. Don’t tell anybody!

Kelly, TYVM Yes it now capitalizes first letter and other letters are in lower case. Jumps was not in custom dictionary, in fact there was no words starting with th letter j there but there were allot weird words so I deleted all quirky words and rewrote the test sentence. It worked perfectly..TY again Your the BOMB Kelly

Laura,
Do Options > Custom Dictionary, and see if “Jumps” isn’t entered in there. If so, delete it. That might be why SureType keeps forcing it to be capitalized. It’s not really doing automatic capitalization, but rather it’s pulling from the Custom Dictionary to “predict” what you’re trying to do. Your Custom Dictionary may have other “mistakes” you need to clean up. I don’t remember if I did a good job of explaining that in the tutorial. Probably didn’t.

Thanks for your feedback about the SureType tutorial. I haven’t heard back from many readers whether they were even using it. For many Pearl owners, SureType is the “make or break” feature that determines if they’re happy with their phone. So I hoped the tutorial might “convert” unhappy Pearl owners.

Let me know if your Custom Dictionary cleanup fixes your problems.

Hi Kelly, Great job in these tips you shared with us TYVM for taking the time to do so. I have a promblem I hope u can help me with. I typed “the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog”
but it capitalized the “J”in “jumps”. This happens quite often when I type. I have tried everything to go back and change the letter to lower case but to no avail. I just gave up and hoped the reader understood it was not important to be literally correct. Is there a way to avoid this in suretype or go back and change this? I did let the suretype do the work w/o looking. TIA

PS all said and done letting the sure type predict
“the quick brown fox Jumps over the lazy dog.”

So the capitization was not in the beginning letter of sentence but in the middle of it. This happens allot to me
